Here we have a great cast of characters - excellent plot - great twists and turns - excellent mystery. Rourke McCall is being released from prison where he served eleven years out of his young life for a murder he claims he didn't commit. He is 33 years old and the 3rd of the McCall brothers. He has sworn revenge against the then 17 year old Cassidy Miller. Cassidy is now 28 and owner of the Longhorn Cafe - there is no love lost between her and her cousin, Blaze Logan [who might possibly be the murderer]. Blaze had been the ready and willing girl friend of most of the men around Antelope Flats and wanted to stir up trouble between Rourke and Forrest Danvers. J.T. McCall is 36 and manages The McCall Ranch - Cash is 35, and is the Sheriff of Antelope Flats - then there is Brandon,30, who picks up Rourke when he is released from Montana State Prison and Dusty, 17, their only sister, who was adopted. Brandon and Dusty believe whole heartedly in Rourke's innocence. Daddy, Asa McCall, never said whether he believed in Rourke or not. There is action when Brandon approaches Rourke for money he lost in gaming with the VanHorn ranch manager. There is the nasty Cecil Danvers who wants revenge for his brother's murder. Easton Wells, an old school mate of Rourke's, who has shacked up with Blaze these past few years. Holt VanHorn, who was a bit crooked, and whose family has a standing feud with the McCalls. Gavin Shaw, Blaze's half-brother, who apparently owes someone money and is messing around with Yvonne, who had a connection with Forrest. And yet something very vital is missing. Through it all there is a spark between Rourke and Cassidy that does lead to a muted romance. The threats to their lives intensifies their emotions. Very Well Done. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- m -- #2 coming up with J.T.'s story.
